Application n lcd February` 8, Serial No. 891,850. i

To all whom' it may concern.' y 2 Y VBe it 'knownthat we, ADOLPH GianlNnR and CORNELIUS J. LONG, citizens of the United States, residing at Detroit, in the countyv ofWayne and,` State of Michigan,

have invented certain new andA useful 'Improvements in `Valves, of which the lfollowlng is a specification, Ireference being had,

. therein to the. accompanying drawin In our pending application filed une29, 1922, Ser. No. 571,588, there is disclosed a puppet valve for internal combustion englnes, particularlythe engines used vin connection with automobiles and other vehicles.l

The valve sho-wn in ythis pending apopli-A cation is hollow, self adjusting and by reason of its novel construction possessesmany advantages compared to a solid valve.

' wherein- The most important ofsaid advantages is that byl our construction a decided reduction in the transmission 'of6 heat from` the valve head to, the stem is obtained and consequent lineal and radial expansionvof the said stem is minimized thereby preventing seizing and undue friction in the valve bushing or* guide, and also freedom from loss of adjustment between the stem and the tappet of the valve. I

The present invention sim lilies the construction of our former va ve and consef quently reduces the expense of manufacture, and the construction will be hereinafter specifically described and lthen claimed.

Reference will now `be had' to the Figure lis a Vvertical sectional View of a portion of anengine provided with valves in accordance with our invention, one of the valves being closed and the other opened and ypartly ebroken away and-partly in section' Fig. `2 is ay plan of one of thevvalves, an

Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view of the valve, taken` on ure 1.

Our valve comprises an-inverted conicall shaped hollow -body having a diverging wall 1 with its outer edges integral with a convex head in the form of a disk 2, which has its .center/portion provided with 'a kerf or groove -'3 to permit of an instrument, as a :1aed inwardlyl from-the iop gf Said had a.

screw driver, being placed in engagement with the valve head to turn it for seat grindv ing purposes. The convex. head 2 ovenhangs the` diverging wall of the valvejbody and the annular edge of l said head isv bev.-

drawing chamber 11,

the gline Elx-f3", Fig-A provide a seat engaging portion '4. l

The'wall 1 converges to an integral stem f 5 which is comparatively short and is adapted to be connected to a valve rod 6 `by a butti weld or other connection which will makethe stem 5 as though integral with the rod 6.

The wall 1 cooperates'with the head 2V in providing a chamber 7 directlyI under'said head and communicating with said chamber are a series of openin s 8 having the axes thereof convergeu to tg body. v These openings arev of substantial size so that the intermediate portions lof the e axis4 of the valve' Wall 1 rare in the form of arms supporting the head 2in spaced relation to the stem 5.

As showing an installation of our valve, 9 denotes a cylinder block provided with ini take and exhaust passa in a head 12 mounted on the` cylinder block.

lThe top of the cylinder block has valve seats 13 for the seatv portions 4 of the. valves adapted to control the communication be-v tween the chamber 11 and either of the passageslO-lO' -The valverods 6 are adapted to bevraised by .any suitable valve fgnerat'- ing ,mechanism and the valves are a apted to be held normally seated by the ex pansive force of springs 13, assoclated with the `lrseat engaging portion 4 so that this portion ofthe valve may snugly fit on the seat 13 and shut off the communicationybetween the passages 10 or 10* and the'combustion We attach considerable importance to the 10 and "10'a communicatlng with a` com ustion chamber 11- ss 'I factv that there is no other connection bex tween the valve head 2" and the valve stem 5 than the wall 1, which is comparatively thin and gases entering the inlet passa e 7 willvbe directed against the lower face o the head and absorb -heat from the same which is particularly" advantageous if the head is v I exposed to the detonation offuel in a combustion chamber, as this heat isy thereby dissipatedv in the gases so impinging on the un# I 'derside of the head and prevented from effecting .undue expansion ofthe valvefstem with konsequent detrimental results.

At the same time, this absorbing of heat :from the valve head effects a preheating of ,such gases p effectively preparlng4 them for stituting the sole connection between said head and stem the apertures permitting the n ignition when( subsequently assed into the combustion chamber 11.l

n so,' due tothe fact that the disks 2 ofthe valve are supported contiguous to-their margins and heat Vradiated'from the underside of the central portion of the disk to a constantly changed i' gaseous body therebeneath, warping of the valve head -1s minimized,

-f f What we claim is:

1. As a newll articlel of'lmanufacture, a puppet valve 'for controlling either thes ini take or the `exhaust of an internal combustion engine comprising a hollow one piece head having converging walls terminating in a stem with said walls a' rtured and concirculation o intake or 'exhaust gases through said head, whereby heaty from the-, head 1s dissipated.`

2. A puppet valvev comprising divergin 'i walls connected .by an integral convex hea c s whereby 'when the valve is in operation in anl engine intake or exhaust gases are interposed between said stem and said head of land a solid axial stem,y with said walls'a'perf `tured to communicate with the chamber in said head, the chamber being unobstructed the valve.

3.- A luppet valve Ycomjgu'ising an inverted conical ollow body having apertures solely 'communicating with an unobstructed chamoverhanging said body to ygaging portions.

ber in said body and providing means whereby heat absorbing gases may pass into said body, a stem, integral withf said body and a head integral with said body an provide seat enr4. A puppet valve Icomprgisn a `rod, and

a hollowyhead on said rod, sai .head com# prising a disk spaced from and free from contact with said rod by orificed tapering walls extending. from the marglinal portions of said disk tothe end of sai rod, whereby said4 rod may be kept cool by interposng lgases between said rod' and said'disk5. and

said walls cooled by the passage of gases In testimonywhereowe lafHx our signa-v n tures.
